Not so bad.
Nov. 7th, 2009 10:49 pmThe good news are many: no sooner had I complained about failing chemistry, than I got an A. Okay, it wasn't strictly due to my knowledge, as we have been marked on the ability to correctly guess what was in a vial we were assigned (it could contain either water or a mixture of one or two cations - mine were silver and manganese). Of course when I say guess, I meant the expectation was that we would proceed with a thorough examination via characteristic reagents for each group and element (we were allowed to use our notes). I mostly got lucky - silver requires only one test, one whose reagent is on top of the list, at that, and manganese is pretty obvious, too, as when you see violet it's likely manganese. So, correct guesswork gave me an A, but an A is an A.
There is also a small question mark on my test results, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up, so hush.
In other news, NaNo is progressing well. :)
Lastly, newest SPN WAS SO AWESOME USE OF CAPS IS FULLY JUSTIFIED. SCOOTERS AND TANDEM BICYCLE AND JAPANESE AND HA-HA GREY'S ANATOMY!
